Snow forces jam-packed playoff day at Spring-Ford

The Pioneer Athletic Conference’s “Final Four” playoffs have undergone a significant reworking. The boys’ action originally scheduled for Friday will now be played Saturday at Spring-Ford in tandem with the girls’ opening round.

The boys will open with Pope John Paul II (Frontier 1) and Perkiomen Valley (Liberty 2) at 2 p.m., with Methacton (Liberty 1) and Phoenixville (Frontier 2) starting 20 minutes after the completion of the first game. The girls will start at their original 6 p.m. time with Pope John Paul II (Frontier 1) and Methacton (Liberty 2), followed by Spring-Ford (Liberty 1) and Upper Perkiomen (Frontier 2) starting 20 minutes after their first game.

The PAC-10 wrestling match between Pottsgrove and Pope John Paul, originally set for 6:30 p.m. Friday, has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 11. This match, which will close out the PAC-10’s regular season slate, will be 6:30 p.m. at Pope John Paul.

Two non-league swim meets — Perkiomen Valley at Coatesville, Pottsgrove at Chichester — were rescheduled from Friday. The PV/Coatesville meet will now be Monday, Feb. 11; the Pottsgrove/Chichester meet Friday, Feb. 15.

The Perkiomen School boys and girls basketball games with Valley Forge Military Academy and Mercy Vocational, respectively, were also called off due to the expected inclement weather. The Owen J. Roberts girls’ game with Pennridge scheduled for home Friday, was called off as part of the district’s overall cancellation of after-school activities.
